How to make juggling balls

What you’ll need…

Balloons
Funnel
Dried lentils
Scissors

Step 1

Blow up a balloon and keep it inflated for 30 seconds to stretch it out. Deflate it, then use the funnel to pour in the lentils so the balloon’s firm but squeezable.

Step 2

Snip off the raised ring at the end of the balloon. Now cut off the neck of a second balloon and stretch it over the full balloon (tucking in its neck as you do it).

Step 3

Cut the neck off a third balloon, and stretch it over the other two, so your lentils don’t escape. Make two more similar-sized balls and then get juggling!
